Marco and Sophie, any > opinion on it? Heya, hyphenation is very hard. I have coded it into Proofing Tool GUI: https://proofingtoolgui.org See the subchapter in the user guide that explains how to use it: https://proofingtoolgui.org/proofingtoolgui_files/ProofingToolGUI_manual_V30.html#5.4.hyphenation It is very hard. Anyway, my two cents: for English languages, you can probably use the one in Gerrit as a fallback. The English languages that ship with my .oxt commit are either updated by me or by Kevin Atkinson, and none of us two change the hyphenation. Kevin simply converts wordlists into .dic automatically and I don't change such complex things, so definitely that until someone with great knowledge decides to improve the hyphenator, it won't be ever changed (it will always be this). For other languages, I am not sure. :-) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
